CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PURNENDU SINGH ORAL ORDER

2 12-03-2026 Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners and learned APP for the State.

2. The petitioners seek pre-arrest bail in connection with Barh P.S. Case No. 604 of 2025 registered for the offence punishable under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 118(1), 109(1), 303(2) and 3(5) of the BNS.

3. As per the allegation made in the F.I.R., with a common intention to kill, all the accused persons including the petitioners assaulted the informant and his friend who sustained injury on the vital part of the body.

4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are innocent and they are student. They have been roped in this case on false accusation. The injury sustained by the associate of the informant is simple in nature while the injury which has been sustained by the informant, the opinion of the doctor is reserved. Petitioners are student and in absence of material evidence collected in course of investigation, the petitioners deserve to be released on pre-arrest bail.

5. Learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioners. 6. Having heard the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, having perused the allegation made in the F.I.R., the injury is simple in nature, I find that the petitioners have, prima facie, made out a case to be released on pre-arrest bail.

7. The petitioners, above named, are directed to be released on pre-arrest bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the Court below within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned District Court where the case is pending in connection with Barh P.S. Case No. 604 of 2025, subject to the condition as laid down under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C / 482(2)

BNSS.

8. The District Court is directed to verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioners and if it is found that the petitioners are involved in some other cases as what has been stated in Para-3 of the bail petition, this order will automatically lose its force.

9. The bail application stands disposed of.
